Former LSU coach Nick Saban, who is currently coaching at Alabama, saw his tenure with the Tigers end with a loss to Iowa on the final play of the game in 2005.

Auburn coach Gus Malzahn was not the first coach to prove that the best way to beat Alabama coach Nick Saban is to catch him with his pants down. That's what happened on a 109-yard missed field goal return by Chris Davis on the last play of Iron Bowl last month to give Auburn a 34-28 victory over No. 1 Alabama and propel it to the BCS title game on Jan. 6.

Nor was it LSU coach Les Miles, who did the same thing with nearly as odd a play - the old double pitch tight end reverse by Deangelo Peterson - on a fourth and one for the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter of a 24-21 victory over No. 5 Alabama in 2010.
